"There seems to be a singular absence of bonny girrls on board," replied the Scot, twisting his erect forelock reflectively. "Have you asked the English girl?" suggested a tall, rawboned New Englander. "Which English girrl?" demanded the Scot. "Listen to him which! Why, that one over there, you owl."
"Shut up," said Archer; "so it's like saving up ourr chances and adding to 'em, till now we're 'most in Switzerland and we got a good big chance saved up. I'll tell you what I'm going to do with mine I'm going to give it to the Red Cross kind of as you'd say. If that girrl is worrkin' on that road and I can find herr, I'm goin' to. If I get pinched, all right.
"I know we've got to think about Uncle Sam, and I know you're patriotic," said Tom generously, "and we can't afford to be taking big chances. But if you had known her brother, you'd feel the way I do that's one sure thing." "I wouldn't run the risk of getting pinched and sent back to prison just on account of a girrl," said Archer scornfully.
Mary, me girrl," she added, to the maid, who was passing her chair, "would ye mind givin' me th' least bit of a rub between me shoulders like? I will speak t' th' professor, for I have no doubt he has but t' say th' worrd t' his scholards, an' they will all run back where they belong." But the professor did not come back that day.
"I'm not saying anything about that," said Archer. "My duty's to Uncle Sam. You've got the crazy notion now that you want to rescue a girrl, just like fellerrs do in story books. If you'rre going to be thinking about herr all the time I might as well go by myself. I could get along all right, if it comes to that." "Well, I couldn't," said Tom, with a note of earnestness in his voice.
Archer retorted. "We're goin' to find that girrl or perish in the attempt like old What's-his-name. You've got the right idea, Slady." "It ain't an idea," said Tom soberly, "and if you think it's kind of that I that I like her " "Surre it ain't, it's 'cause you hate herr," said Archer readily. "You make me tired," said Tom, flushing.
I see before me many a rosy girrl a-chewin' cocoanut candy that ain't so swate as herself, an' many a boy wid his pockets full of paynuts an' his head full of divelthries. "Is it the prisence of such an aujunce which gives me the pleasure unequalled in me mimory? No! "Ye see before ye 'The Flannagan an' Imparial Itinerant Exhibition," he says.
I am no dictator, ma'am, an' I don't wish t' be, but here I am an' here I stay, an' 'tis no fault of mine if some things riles me temper and makes me act as I shouldn't. I'm one that likes things t' be peaceful, ma'am, for no one knows how much row a girrl can make in th' house better 'n than I does, especially when she's hired by th' month an' can't be fired. I can't forget one Mrs.
Further, he could see with half an eye that The Laird was waiting for somebody, and when that somebody appeared on the scene, the imp of suspicion in Dirty Dan's character whispered: "Begorra, is the father up to some shenanigans like the son? Who's this girrl? I dunno. A young widder, belike, seem' she has a youngster wit' her."
"You said yourself that the old man was kind of a little off, like," Tom answered patiently. "He's got the bug that he's very shrewd and that he can always get the best of the Germans. Do you think I'd take a chance staying there? We took a chance as it was." "Yes, and you'rre going to take a biggerr one if you go chasing all over Gerrmany after that girrl. You won't find herr.
